Are flats the new heels?

Tuesday, February 25, 2014

An article recently published by The Guardian analyzes the decline of one of fashion's long-lasting trends: high heels. As cities grow and the lack of mobility increasingly impacts our daily lives, women all over the world are changing high heels for a more comfortable transportation alternative: flats. Most women in big cities work, run around the city, and cannot afford to move around by car. In cities like Mexico City, London, New York and Beijing, it is no longer an option to rely on cars for transportation, people are walking more and cycling more, activities which cannot be done effectively if one is wearing a pair of stilettos. Flats, my friends, are the new heels. Above: a selection of my favorite flats for the spring.
